From raking leaves for seniors to providing food for those in need (locally and around the world) to roofing a house for an injured firefighter, the members of Hope live out God’s encouragement in Galatians 6:10 “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially those of the household of faith.  As the construction phase of this page moves forward, we will show more of this story. 

For our most recent project, our “Hula for Haiti” local luau, we had dozens of members and neighbors stop by to donate and help raise funds for earthquake victims in Haiti. We raised $1,000 which the Kendall County/Aurora chapter of Thrivent matched, for a total of $2,000 to go to LCMS World Relief and Human Care disaster relief work in Haiti. We also collected dozens of pairs of shoes, clothes, hundreds of pounds of antibacterial soap, and other items.  Several children got sponsors to donate a certain amount per spin, with the talented young lady in the video both our top child hula hooper and top child fund-raiser. We are thankful for all who helped with our collection for some of the poorest children on earth.
